«As a motion picture, the main criticism, even among reviewers who praised the film, was the confusion created by following numerous stories. Most critics stated that it was almost impossible to follow the plot.
The audience confusion mimics the confusion of the characters, who are enmeshed in the events around them without a clear understanding of what precisely is going on.
As with Gaghan's screenplay for Traffic, Syriana uses multiple, parallel storylines, jumping from locations in Texas, Washington D.C., Switzerland, Spain, and the Middle East.
This is not a conventionally satisfying movie but a kind of illustrated journalism.»

And I'm not sure I'm that interested in this story. And I do not think that this is the best perfomance that George Clooney gave through his whole career.
I think his perfomace in "The Descendants" was much stronger and the subject of a film was much closer to the audiences than this CIA-terrorist-USA-Middle East-oil-sand story.
